About

Jennifer Lynn Knapp (born April 12, 1974) is an American-Australian folk rock and contemporary Christian music singer-songwriter, author, and LGBTQ advocate. She is best known for her first single "Undo Me" from her Gold-certified debut studio album, Kansas (1998), and the song "A Little More" from her Grammy Award–nominated album, Lay It Down (2000). The Way I Am (2001) was also nominated for a Grammy. In total, the three albums have sold approximately 1 million copies.

After a seven-year hiatus, Knapp returned to music and announced that she was in a relationship with a woman, sparking controversy among her Christian fans and becoming one of the first and most well-known Christian music artists to come out as gay. On May 11, 2010, she released Letting Go which debuted at No. 73 on the Billboard 200 chart. Knapp's memoir, Facing the Music, was published in 2014. Since then, she has become an advocate for LGBTQ Christians and continued to perform and create music. Her most recent album is Kansas 25 (2024), a re-recording of her debut album.
